Asteria is a card game for 2 players, which adapts 4X games (Exploit (Blue with white triangle symbol), Expand (Green cog symbol) , Explore (Purple hexagon symbol) & Exterminate (Red circle symbol)) into a simpler and more objective game using only 56 cards.

Resources

These are tracked in the player area for Energy (Yellow lightening) and Ore (Light blue crystal). You start with 2 of each at the beginning of the game. After this you get resources through:

• The Exploit action (you get this immediately when a card is played during your turn).
• Resources collected as you reach a space on the planetary track.
• Discarding a planet from your hand to get all resources on one half of the planet track.
• Resource collection at the start of future turns (based on your Exploit cards on planets).
• Other card actions (this could be when you trigger an action, or at start of the turn).
• Outside of your turn from the other player (as a result of their card action).

There is a hard limit of 12 of any resource at any one time.
